Sophie's World #3

I really like how this book is progressing. The information on Hilde and her father is growing, and I can’t stop wondering how Hilde and Sophie are tied together. Well, to be fair, I finally gave in a looked up what happens at the end. I couldn’t help it, I love spoilers. I’m surprised I didn’t do it sooner, actually.

Anyway, I have to say, I like this series of philosophers better than the past natural ones like Parmenides and Empedocles, etc. Those guys were just all very confusing. I feel like the philosophers like Aquinas and the views of the cynics and stoics are just more relatable to our world now because we still have cynical and stoic people.

I’m also glad that Sophie and Alberto are finally having conversations. The pages of philosophical text were very hard to read because they were so dry. I like the way the author went back into story mode and delves deeper into the mystery of Hilde and her father.
